OFFICIAL CoNDESCENSION.

OFFICIAL CoNDESCENSIoN.
 When slaves were suddenly freed and made citizens, condescension in efforts to improve their condition was not out of place; but how does it sound to hear the governor of a State talking in that tone about workmgmen who were born citizens as Governor Hill does in his mes sage?
 "lt should be o1n' aim to study their wants,' he says, ito respect fully and attentlvely listen to their complaints, to dispassionately dis cuss their proposed projects, and in a kindly spirit to intelhgently dis tlnguiSh between their real and their real and their fancied grievances. Y" Pray, governor, to whom do you al- Jude when you speak of "our aim, :" and who Is 1t that is to attentively listen, dispassionately discuss. and kindly distinguish: Is there in truth d governing class, of which

you are a good-natured representa- tive, to whom men that work must present their grievances as an hum ble subject might kneel at the foot of throne Or are the working men of the State, whom you make the objects of your gracious conde- scension, citizens whose commands, when expressed in legal form, must be obeyed?
 When you recognize that working men are demanding rights, and not begging privileges, you will be able to discuss labor questions more in- telligently.-N. y. Standard.

WAGE-LABOR AND CAPITAL
BY KARL MARX.
Translated by J. L. JoYNEs.


 The economists repeatedly assure us that the laborers who are rendered super hous by the machines find new branches of employment.
 They have not the hardihuod directly to assert that the laborers who are dis charged enter upon the new branches of labor. The facts cry out too loud against such lie as this. They only declare that for other divisions of the laboring class, as for instance, for the rising gen eration of laborerers who were just ready to enter upon the defunct branch of in dustry, new means of employment will open out. Of course that is great satis- faction for the dismissed laborers. The worshipful capitalists will not find their fresh supply of exploitable flesh and blood run short, and will let the dead bury their dead This is indeed con solation with which the bourgeois com fort themselres rather than the laborers. If the whole class of wage-laborers were annihilatcd by the machines, how shock ing that would be for capital, which without wage-labor ceases to act as capi- tai at all.
 But let Us suppose that those who are directly driven out of their employment by machinery, and also all those of the rising generation who were expecting sml loyment in the same line, find some

CITIZEN MCGlYNN.

Well, Edward McGlynn, the American citizen, is greater than Father McGlynn, the subordinate of foreign potcntate. He has assert ed his right to do a citizens duty, and the Church has asserted its right to suspend him from the priesthood. Thus far perfectly consistent on both sides. It IS well known fact that the Church has in all times derived vast proportion of its power from its intimate association or fusion with the ruling classes; consequently it could not be expected that it should retain in it's employ d person who advocates views dlametrlcally opposed to its pecuniary interests.
 It will not be forgotten, however.
 that the ecclesiastical authorities of fered no opposition to Dr. McGlynn's s taking the stump for Cleveland, and the experience of Michael Davitt in Rome. where he was even refused an audience with the Pope through the | influence of the representative of

public schools out of mere spite. They do not begrudge any one an education such as the grammar schools afford at public expense, but they would secure to the workmen' s children an equality of opportunity, not by tearing down, but by build ing up. They would in the first in- stance establish q system whereby the working people would receive the full fruits of their labor, and part of their reward would be paid them in the education and proper training of their children. If this proposition is indicative of "dis- eased lmmagination," we fail to see it; and furthermore, we can assure our thoughtless contemporary that the number of minds affected with the socialistic "disease" are on the Increase.
 Finally, we assure the IJnSteo Press and it's captalstic friend, the New York Sun, that grammar schools will nOt be abolished. Re. member that, please.

THE FATE OF "SCABs. |"

''How can you have the etfrontery to ask for such high wages when there are so many poor and deserv- ing people asking for work from me every day." This from the indig- nant "boss," when the committee waits on him. He uses the fact of the existence of these "poor and de- serving" as club to beat down the wages of the union men. If a strike follows he calls in his poor and de- serving. In these times his first surprise is that they do not flock to him; it takes a drag-net to gather them in. The Third Avenue Com pany actually sent to San Francisco and got eight men in its late strike, and It's most active Thompson was a Rochester man who went there and brought back about twenty forlorn, half-starved creatures. The Wheel ing newspaper proprietors who, a few months ago, decided to "rat" their papers, were obliged to send to Cleve- land to get their cheap compositors. The Chicago packers telegraphed to New ' 1ork and Omaha and all points within radius of a thousand miles of Chicago for their ''scab" butch CTS. In these three cases money was spent lavishly to obtain the non- union men. But how did the con- scienceless capitalists keep faith with their new hands? The Third Ave nue Company pursues the policy of changing its men as frequently as possible, for It is haunted with the fear of another strike. A we'll in- formed employe has recently said that of the men who took the places of the strikers there do not now re- main in the company's employ more than fifty. The company shipped" the most of the original "scabs" as soon as they could get along without them. The Wheeling union printers succeeded in driving the "rats' away by a boycott, and Christmas was q merry day with them, while, as the union organ there says, "the rats took vinegar in their'n." The "rats" all left Wheeling on cold day, disgraced, friendless, penniless, to seek work or poorhouse. The poor deluded fellows who went to Chicago to take the places of the strikers in the packing houses are now paupers on the charity of that city. Here are three instances in which ''scabs' were used for brief while to try to defeat organized la Dor and then were cast aside and despised by the moneyed men who had bought them like cattle. This is not comforting reading matter for the "poor and deserving" tramps and incompetents who are on the lookout for other mems places at cheaper rates. Union Printer.

NEW HAVEN, JANUARY lj, 1887.
FOR GRAMMAR SCHOOLS.

SiN NlNNiNi NIFNIh oSI IlooGo.
 Instead of beneiittlng by our kind ly criticism on the false position taken by the Uinsted Press on pub- lie education, our contemporary, in it's issue of last week, says that "the WoRKMEN's ADVOCATE talks like a fool, and accuses us of seeming ito think that the workingman is great ly benefited by supporting grammar schools for the exclusive edifcation of rich mems sons." We doubt if any other reader of this paper could discover anything of this alleged i'm port in the article referred to by our contemporary.
 While it is perfectly true that the working people support the public grammar schools, and that rich mems sons receive a benefit from them, We desire nothing less than hat they should receive the e1clusire benefit of public education. If they 10 now receive the exclusive benefit, the way to mend matters is not to cut off the higher grades of gram mar schools but to make them ac- cossible to the workingmen's sons and daughters as well.
 To say that "the WoREMHN'S AD- vooATE talks like fool" does not answer the questions we propounded Il our article, correct answers to which would indicate the true reme- ly to fair-minded people. Now, while 1t IS not strictly true that rich mems sons get the exclusive benefit of public grammar schools, t IS melancholy fact that all poor mems sons do not receive the cduca lion-the school training-that the public school system affords. The reason is that under the competitive, 'apitalist system of the day, the hlldren of poor men must enter the anks of the producers before they rave had chance to graduate, and become the wage-slaves of the very lass of people who object to "sup- porting" public grammar schools ut of the surplus wealth created for hem by the working people.
 And what would the U'Msted 'ress help the capitalists to accom- fish by abolishing the grammar 3hools? This: To exploit the forkers and reduce their school tax i'll, thus preventing even those 'orklngmen s sons who are still able take advantage of the facilities ffered by the public grammar schools rom acquiring more than "an ele- nentary instruction of the simplest ort."
 But, it may be said, the capitalists ave the means of placing the bur on upon the laborers by increasing le price of commodities True: Tt the wages of the laborers will ardly sink below the point required r actual subsistence. notwithstand-

tg'N'''ioNp "iic 'i"'h pNNh llNlil Georges new paper, the Standmd, express their admiration, and yet they cannot repress a quiet smile at the evident horror of Socialism by some of the writers, while in the same breath they advocate socialistic ideas. But they mean well if they are not quite clear.
 Comrades, pay particular atten- tlon to the spread of our organiza- tlon-but be careful to get aD0rkers only. An organization of honest, fearless and discreet men thoroughly lmbued with our principles will be demanded by society soon, for upon them will depend the building up of the New Commonwealth. Mean. while let us not neglect those who are on their way to us. Illumine their pathway with our literature.
 We are told by the HWt0rd TImes that "Mr. Charles Olmsted, of Nor walk, was presented with a S25O uniform, " and without smile, ap- narently,it continues, 'The Rev. Ed ward Anderson offered prayer. We trust that the uniform will fit Quar- termaster-General Olmstcd. But $?5o. Why, that's more than the average editors wife pays Nor a new bonnet, and as to the prayer-well, that is usually postponed till the bill is presented.
 The Union Printer gives d graphic description of the fate of "scabs," and we reprint it for the delecta- tion of "straight' men who read the WORKMEN'S ADVOCATE. But then, the thought arises-why are there "scabs?" WeIl-paid, well-fed and sober workmen would hardly "scab" it.; even those who are hard-up, if they be well-bred, would not "scab" it. We wish Brother Sullivan would tell the printers what creates "rats" and "scabs mo need of telling us what they are, but how came they so? A sound diagnosis might sug- gest a remedy.
 The price of coal, it seems, was increased suddenly and arbitrarily fifty cents per ton by the "my lords" One of our New Haven daGes says free trade is the remedy. As if the capitalistic coal speculators would not combine upon importa- tlons if they found it necessary Did you ever hear of a corner in postage stamps? No? We'll, you see, Uncle Sam-we-all of us, have a say in the matter of postage stamps. Let Uncle Sam take charge of the coal miners, and the means of trans portation. and there won't be any complaint save by the robbers whose vocation is spoiled. But that is so- cialistic Yes, it is socialistic.

that the man be looked up and ar

The WOman's Exchange.

The ladies of the Public Library
Association met at the library yester-
day evening to perfect their plan of
organization OF woman's exchange.
Considerable progress was made and
the plan will be accomplished. The
purpose is to have certain days and
evenings, which may properly be
called sale days, when all articles will
be on sale at the rooms for the benefit
not only of the library, but the indus
trious poor. For instance, lady
makes pieco of fancy work and
wishes to sell it. The exchange takes
it and sells it for her. charging her a
small per cent. The ladies accommo-
date whatever there is demand for
and sell it on these occasions, charg-
ing n small per cent. Parties who wish
to aid the library will have an oppor-
tunity to donate articles, which will be
sold and the money appropriated for
the benefit of the $40 cia.ion. II is a
good thing, and thosa who can aid
should help the ladies.
